Our team consists of LBP, qualified and apprentices.
We have a digger/operator and access to truck for those landscaping jobs.
If your job is small, doesn’t require a licensed building practitioner or is something our apprentices can do - we are happy to price accordingly and still provide the same 10 year workmanship guarantee.
If you are looking for subbies (electrician, plumber, plasterer/painter etc) I am more than happy to recommend who we use and trust.
We are members of NZ Certified Builders, CBS Co-op, fully insured and full health and safety.
I’ve attached a link to our Facebook and website:

We look forward to hearing from you.

We will focus on creating palettes which work well for foreground, mid distance and distant greens. Green can be a difficult colour to get right in landscape work as is doesn’t ‘travel’ well from near to far. Some very far greens are scarcely green at all, with their saturation, value and hue changing as they recede into the distance. You will learn how to create greens that give this sense of aerial perspective. You will also learn how to create the brightest and cleanest colour mixes, greens in particular, from a Modern (Organic) colour palette. Suitable for beginners as well as experienced artists.

Consumer NZ is stoked, saying these sneaky surcharges cost Kiwis around $65 million a year and should’ve been gone ages ago.
But not everyone’s convinced it’s a win. Labour and Hospitality NZ are worried the costs won’t just disappear. Labour MP Arena Williams put it simply: there should not be surcharges for customers at all. But she points out that the Government’s plan does not deal with banks and merchants “who still scoop a big fee”.
Many of our community are rocked by the recent announcement. Retailers warn card surcharge ban could lead to higher prices - the unfortunatel reality is that small businesses are feeling the squeeze along with their customers. In comparison, large retailers pay significantly lower banking fees and ultimately have more leverage at the negotiation table.
💸 So someone still pays – but who?
We want to know: Who should be covering this cost?

There's a nice Buddhist story; a novice went to the Zen master and said he wanted to paint a perfect picture. The master laughed and said, "There is a straightforward way to achieve this. First become perfect and then create your picture."

This is a SCAM and it is the second time I have received it. The first time after acknowledging her request and texting her over a few days I genuinely thought it was her because the scammer somehow knew so much about me. Then they pounced and it cost me a lot of money. ……….Delete and report

It's time to start thinking about your spring garden!

The weather has been against garlic planters: too much moisture. Cloves have rotted in the ground. We have well established plants ready to go into your garden beds and ramp away.
Also parsley, celery, spring onions and a limited amount of broccoli cabbages, cauli, pak choy and silverbeet.
Looking for a bit of brightness in your flower beds or some pots on the doorstep? We all need a bit of cheering up. We have large potted polyanthus, violas, and pansies that will brighten up your garden beds, pots or just fill a few gaps and flower through until late spring. Pansies must go this weekend - we need the space!
Look for our stall partway down Park Avenue.
